You're judging a nation based on the quality of life of the losers of society....

There was no electricity in my home during my primary school days. However, thanks to the PAP, I overcame the odds by making use of the opportunities that the PAP created.

Losers? You were the one who praise the situation of these "losers".

If you go back that many years, many parts of the world had no electricity. Even the USA had no television. It is a sorry state of affair for the PAP, in need of real contribution to show, to try to claim credit for what is essential a global technological trend.

There is no need to "pondify" achievements if there is real achievement. No need to demote Singapore to a "fishing village" when in the same breath you call it the "New York" of Malaysia. There is no need to keep comparing it to third world countries if you are already in first world category. No need to compare against the distant past if you can compare and compete with what is in the present.

With due respect, NZ was a wrong choice of emigration destination, NZ being the laggard of the Western world, it was certainly not making the best use of the opportunities offered.
